.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBdevattr\fR displays the values for a device's attributes. The display can be
presented in two formats. Used without the  \fB-v\fR option, only the attribute
values are shown. Used with the  \fB-v\fR option, the attributes are shown in
an  \fIattribute\fR\fB=\fR\fIvalue\fR format. When no attributes are given on

alphabetical order by attribute name. If attributes are given on the command
line, only those attributes  are shown, displayed in command line order.
